  1. Right, I m moving onto drilling springbar holes, knowing my love of botching these jobs how do I proceed ? Clamp and drill or is it more involved, I ve got the POS case to practice on in the mean time. Ah the joy of modding when you have no skill and infinite stupidity
  2. Nice one TeeJay, I still recommend cats whiskers for fine detail tho. Harry doesnt mind, as long as I wait for them to shed naturally of course
  3. It leads to the house of commons, where all the [censored]s are
  4. What are the odds none of them are worn anymore, I understand they are expensive but its got to be worn to be fully enjoyed. I d love to "wear" any of them, and for those who saw my seiko before avitt coated it you know what I mean
  5. Steer clear of the clownmaster as someone once called it
  6. Hi Dave, every dealer carries this watch. Precious time, Narikaa and eurotimez can all ship from within the E.U. have a look around and enjoy the view.
  7. Its a beaut, love skeletons makes me wish I had a see thru arm so I could see the back all time. Or maybe thats a little insane ?
  8. I m boned the case is a POS, all part of the learning curve. Thanks for the encouragement guys, I may sway towards an alpha watch and try and use the 6263 dial on that. Or will that be same story ? Magic movement: Case with bezel off (it presses on): Bezel with the crystal attached: Excuse the pics had to take quick ones camera battery only charges for five mins.
  9. I blame TeeJay he set me off, building his tudor
  10. I m just seeing how far no skill and a lot of hope will get me, Not looking to build something super special as I dont think I could. Was just hoping to use the case I was kindly given, and making a watch I like. One question should the cyrstal be attached to the case or the bezel as mine is the latter ? I think I may be in trouble already
  11. Good People, I ask for a moment of your time, I ve been given a broken modern daytona rep (centre seconds sub dials are day month etc). Now I suffer from the illness that every rookie must have, i.e. all parts fit if the watch looks the same. I know the movement is wrong, but can I turn it into something I actually would wear. So I ve bought a 6263 dial from a member only cheap mind(like me) in the hope it will go over this weird movement, I ve also bought a DW6263 bezel on the cheap again (theme appearing) in the hope that will fit. My main hope is that cases are pretty similar unless they are super expensive, I have super glue on stand by. Do I have a chance ? P.S. I used black marker pen to colour the seconds hand black like it sound be on a 6263, and plan to use correcting fluid to paint sub dial hands. Guess I answered my own thread title, but it should be fun trying to get it all together. Any tips and/or advice would be a great help. Thanks for reading my ramblings
  12. Welcome aboard, For the U.K. Precioustime and Narikka are both based here, enjoy the watches:)
  13. Having finally got my stem in, going with Tat custom on python strap. So hard to photograph the crystal reflects everything. Have a great week everyone
